wh ich ene rl mounted thereon three arm 36, one of the plates 35 will bear on the i yoke 32, to raise the ring 31 and the shell 17 into frietional engagement with the upper yolre 29, thereby firmly clamping the shell immovably on the support and raising` the shell out of contact with the revolving clutch 14. By this means7 a quick disengagement of the shell and bobbin from ,the revolving clutch is obtained, and when a new bobbin is placed on the shaft 7 and the lever arm 36 is thrown into the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the bobbin is promptly thrown into the high speed of the revolving clutch 14. y

A modification of the device hereinbefore disclosed is shown in Fig; 5, in which the rubber clutch is omitted and the ring 1G is fastened to the sleeve 8, which causes the shell 1T to rotate continuously. As shown in this disclosure, the lower end of. the ngers E21 are bent inwardiy to form a iiange 37, which flange has a .limited movement between an inner tubular portion 38 of the shell 17, and its outer Wall. In this case, the

'rotation of the shell 17 will cause the lower heavy port-ion of the fingers to fly outwardly through the action of centrifugal force, pressing the bead 22- into engagement with the groove 26 on the bobbin 24:.

Many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof.

It isintended vthat all matters contained herein in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings, shall be interpret-ed as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

It is yalso to be understood that the language used iu the following claims merely intended to cover all the generic and specific Having thus described inyinvention, i"

claimns new and desire to secure byLetters Patent:

1. In a bobbin holdciya stationary spindle. :i rot-ating s.eeve on the spindleA` a shell open at the top and surroumling` the sli-Sere.V means `for revolving` the shell trom the sleeve. a disk closingthe top ofthe shell and provided with a plurality of recesses iu its` periphery`v said recesses forming with the shell slots, and fingers fulcrume'd inthe said slots at one side of their center of length. the longer ends of the fingers extending into the shell and their outer shorter ends proj cctingabove the disk uand 'formed with beads adapted to engage a' groove in n liobbin on the sleeve.

2. In a bobbin holder,a stationary spindle` a sleeve loosely mounted en the spindle. a pulley secured on the sleeve and carrying a clutch member at its upper end. a shell loosely mounted on the sleeve and having openings in its top and a clutch member engaging the clutch member oit' the pulley. and lingers fulcrumed in the shell intermediate of their ends with their upper ends projecting through the openings oi' the shell und adapted to engage a liohbin on said sleeve.

In testimony whereof I have signed my Dame to this speeilicatioi'i in the presence oi two subscribing witnesses.
